- It is no longer permissible for a security ACE to contain a "nested"

  list of permissions (e.g. ``(Allow, Everyone, ['read', ['view',
  ['write', 'manage']]])`)`.  The list must instead be fully expanded
  (e.g. ``(Allow, Everyone, ['read', 'view', 'write', 'manage])``).  This
  feature was never documented, and was never an API, so it's not a
  backwards incompatibility.
